Make it personal!

Hey, I’m Loic. I’ve built apps that let millions of people create their own memes, GIFs, and avatars.
One of them got acquired.
My thing? Giving non-creators the tools to make something personal in seconds.

1/2. Cool stuff I've built

memix1

2022 - Memix

  • Pitch: Edit viral animated memes with your own text!

  • Numbers: 1M users, 5M memes created

  • Fun fact: finding top, local memes each week was a *pain* back when you couldn’t ask an AI to do the heavy lifting

morphin1

2019 - Morphin

  • Pitch: Put yourself into viral GIFs

  • Numbers: 1.2M users, 15M GIFs created, 5B impressions

  • Fun fact: selfie-to-GIF flow cut from 5 steps to 2 during beta. Well invested sleepless nights

Uraniom

2015 - Uraniom

  • Pitch: Be the hero in any game with your own 3D double

  • Numbers: 10k avatars, compatible with all game engines

  • Fun Fact: Intel's CEO demoed the product on stage at CES

2/2. Things I nerd out about

custom zoom backgrounds

Zoom backgrounds

  • Why? Criminally ignored tool for video calls. A well-placed visual makes your message hits harder and stick longer.

  • Stack: Midjourney, Magnific, and good ol Photoshop

  • Fun fact: a backdrop personalized for your host shows that you care... and it's a great ice breaker! 😎

Rapid Prototyping Power

Replit

  • Why? Favorite tool to go from idea to prototype.
    New LLM api to test out? Boom, project done and deployed in no time.

  • Fun fact: side project to explore new image gen model ended up as a pilot for a $2B messaging company 😲

Perfectly Balanced

My Builder's Philosophy

  • Long term: Is there a real before/after? When we deliver, are people going to say "remember what it was like before X"?
    Makes it worth it. Easier to bring people in. Easier to sell.

  • Short term: This should take 2 months. What if we only had 2 weeks? What if we only had 2 days?!
    Best way to zero in on what matters. Plus, constraints breed creativity.

shall we?

There has never been a better time to turn consumers into creators. You can tell I’m obsessed, especially if you throw in a personalization angle.
